Too many stores, too much clothing in people’s closets. Many people could last 20 years with the stuff they have.
And Goodwill is building like crazy around here. The are spending big bucks on the facilities, too, not just opening storefronts. Hard to compete with a company whose COGS is near zero.
I have T-Shirts 20 years old...most relegated to working out (who needs designer workout gear?) or doing tasks too dirty for my good jeans and T-Shirts...
One of the great things about retirement is that I can get by with one pair of nice slacks and a couple dress shirts - they spend 360+ days a year in the closet though.
